Dear New Woman,
My Dad has spent years going through different women. He has loved and lost, fought and tried. And now, here you are. You walked into his life and he decided you were the one to spend the rest of his life with.
To start off I would like to say that I hope you don't let him down. He has had so much heart break in the last few years. When he loves he does it whole heartedly, and is so easily torn down. I will NOT sit by and watch this happen again. So, if you are not in this for the long run, please back now.
Secondly, I would like say that I will respect you as his wife. However, I am a grown woman now, not a little girl, and I have been wronged by his " acquaintances" before. I will treat you with as much respect as you bestow upon me. No more, no less.
Also, please be aware that my mother is not your enemy. She has a reasonable relationship with my Dad. She cares about his well being, and will always love him for being my father. However you need not worry about that relationship being anymore than that.
Finally, I would like to thank you. Thank you for giving my Daddy hope. For ridding him of his loneliness, giving him a companion, and promising to love him even with his flaws. I appreciate you for that.
I never imagined my Daddy marrying again after my mom. But after a lot of growning up on my part I realize that he needs someone to walk beside in life. So again, thank you for being that person. Please, be the person he not only needs in his life, but continue to forever be the person he wants there.
Sincerely,
His Little Girl.
